titimylove: kamikaze-kumquat: yourreddancer: ABSO DAMNED LUTELY! We need people who make things and fix things. It should NEVER be undervalued! FUCKING A! When my niece said she was going to a trade school instead I was fucking thrilled! Fuck, normalize people just wanting to work and do their own thing and not go to school at all! I personally know several people who have never been to secondary school who started their own businesses or who landed jobs they enjoy and can live exactly how they want. And, I am talking people my age and way younger.They fucking lied to us for GENERATIONS saying you HAVE to go to college to be anything. I have a fucking degree I can’t paid for and rarely used it. I have a friend who has an engineering degree who doesn’t use it at all because he found something he liked better that he could’ve gotten without the degree he also can’t pay for.And, hey, if college is your thing, then fucking do it! Just don’t go in thinking it is an automatic guarantee for anything, jobs or otherwise. Go because you want to, not because of some fucking lie that says you have to have it or you are somehow not as good as those who do.Fucking classist bullshit, that is. i graduated from a trade program over 10 years ago and my mom still insists i should go to uni. for what, ma?! i make the internet; anything i learn there is obsolete by graduation and i’ll have wasted thousands. rather take a bootcamp for like 2 weeks at a fraction of the cost and even then…. idek what to study -- source link
